Excerpt from The Agricultural Economy and Trade of DenmarkDenmark, generally self - sufficient in principal foods, imports feed grains, oilseeds and oils, and tropical products. The United States continues to be the major source of agricultural goods to Denmark, supplying about 25 percent of Danish agricultural im ports in normal years. Soybeans and tobacco are the principal commodities purchased by Denmark from the United States.Agricultural exports continue to be heavily dominated by pork products and butter. Trade has been concentrated in two major markets, the United Kingdom, a European Free Trade Association (efta) partner, and West Germany, a member of the European Economic Community (eec). High tariff walls imposed by the eec since 1962 have contributed significantly to declines in Danish exports to the eec of poultry, eggs, beef, veal, and live animals. Denmarkis attempting to improve agricultural export prospects by diversifying markets. Denmark applied for membership in the eec in 1967 but member ship is not anticipated in the near future. Government support to farmers has increased since 1960, as farm revenues have not im proved relative to nonfarm revenues-due to lower overall export earnings and increased costs. Prior to the early l96o's, the Danish farm sector was relatively independent from Government support.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
